Piast Castle in Krosno Odrzańskie

The Piast Castle in Krosno Odrzańskie – its origins date back to the first half of the 13th century when Duke Henryk I Brodaty built his residence in the area unrelated to the earlier settlement. For many years it was his main residence and a place to organize war expeditions. It was in Piast Castle that the duke died on March 19, 1238. In 1241, during battles against the Tatars, the castle gave shelter to Princess Jadwiga Śląska – wife of Henryk Brodaty – and nuns from Trzebnicki monastery

The magnificent interiors of the Krosno Piast Castle, the well-preserved elements of Gothic portals and vaults, the rich collection of original exhibits from the former Crossenan der Oder, which can be found in the medieval and renaissance chambers, the wine and beekeeping cellar, the lapidarium and the hall of the 19th and 20th centuries, are only some of the attractions that await the tourists.
